Members TU BE Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Man, I played that thing for hours yesterday when I got home from work. Played it through the Orange RV50. Clean, dirty, clean boosted, dirty boosted the damn thing just sounds so fucking good! The tonal possibilities are damn near endless. I love my tele and paul as well, but lately it's been a strat kick for me. My MIJ with MIA pickguard and electronics. :love: :love: Show some strat love will ya guys? Let's see em!

Members sleewell Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I knew you'd show up soon slee. no doubt!!! gigged with the top one for years in college and the bottom one is the best playing guitar that I have. i grew up playing a bullet squire strat cheapo, saved up and bought a mim strat and my blues deluxe. strats just feel right to me even though i love all my other guitars. with the 3 pickups and various combos you can just get so many different sweet sounds.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I love strats, I have a modded Squier right now that is really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members extollo Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 the nicest guitar i have but don't play it much. it has a vintage neck with dinky frets which makes me a little sad. should get a 9.5 med jumbo replacemnt. also, maybe a single coil size bridge humbucker would make it even more flexible.

Members atrox Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've been jamming my Gilmour a lot lately. It just really shines as a guitar. The pickups are perfect. It comes with a SD SSL-5 in the bridge, so you can really get some serious crunch out of it. The neck pick is exquisite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deconstruction Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I dig em when i'm in the mood for a sharper, lower gain kinda tone. They have that spank to em... that kerrang when you hit a chord really hard, sorta hard to describe, but you know what i'm talking about, it's cool.

Members TU BE Posted July 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Nice!!!! Keep 'em coming. Love that SB Matt! I really want a H/S/S strat. So versatile, but I promised myself my next axe would be equipped with P90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deconstruction Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Forgive me for my ignorance but what are the differences between a MIM and a MIA strat? other than where they are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So versatile, but I promised myself my next axe would be equipped with P90's Why thank you. I got a Rio Grande BBQ Bucker that is going to go into it, just haven't gotten around to it it. Replaced those saddles with MIA style ones, though. SO much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pioneerprogress Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 man y'all are killing me I had to pass on a MIM strat WITH HSC for $225 last week, cause I just didn't have the money. Strats are awesome. I'm really gasing for a tele right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members atrox Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Dude, you still building guitars? Not really. The passion is lost. I do some stuff for myself still, but i have no interest in starting the shop back up for clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jnurp Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I have one of the last masterbuilt strats made by John English before he died. It is friggin amazing, i pick it up all the time just to noodle around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Miter Gauge Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I certainly do. I've had lots and lots of different guitars over the years and I keep going back to my strats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Forgot to post a pic of my project strat: It's a little different now, I replaced the rail pickups with a pair of MIA Strat Std pickups my buddy gave me. It's a nice little guitar for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
